Our Prayer List
for our friends in distress (Updated 1/27)
Many of those in our patrol family, or their family members, are suffering through the hardships of cancer treatments or other life threatening illnesses. A complete prayer list of our friends in distress can be found on the Member's Page.
1/27 - Pat Ashbridge, surviving spouse of retired Captain Walt Ashbridge and mother of retired AP 1 Lori Kaple, is having major back surgery today, January 27th. Words of encouragement can be shared on Lori's Facebook page.
1/23 - Ret. S/Lt. Lance Mathess is recovering at home after undergoing TLIF surgery. TLIF stands for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Surgeons do TLIF to relieve chronic lower back pain that happens when intervertebral disks put pressure on your spinal nerves. In TLIF, surgeons replace damaged disks with bone grafts. The bone grafts create new bone that helps fuse or join the vertebrae. The surgery went very well but Lance must wear a back brace with very limited movement over 6 weeks and then further restrictions for another 6 weeks.
1/22 - UPDATE - Sarah Cox - From friend Linda Siddons, Sarah has recovered amazingly well from her double mastectomy in late October. Her pathology report did show some microscopic cancer cells in the right breast and 8 of the 23 lymph nodes they removed so that validated her decision to have the mastectomy. Her left breast tissue was completely clear of any cancer! We praise and thank the Lord for the healing she has had in her body over the past year!!! Linda's complete update is available on the Member's Page.
Information to send cards of encouragement can be found on the Member's page. Prayers are always encouraged and appreciated. If there are others in our patrol family that are in some type of distress or difficulty please let us know so we can add them to our prayer list.
